Polish model Anatol Modzelewski appears in Monsieur Magazin Germany, photographed by Adriano Russo for a story titled Posterboy. The setting captures the contrast of American collegiate formality placed within the textured backdrop of southern Italy.
Sun-aged stone and narrow corridors frame Anatol, who assumes the part of a reimagined Tom Ripley. Instead of summer clubs and open-air terraces, this version of Ripley walks through tiled courtyards and along crumbling stucco walls. His presence transforms into that of the observer, half-glimpsed and slightly recast.
Konstantin Spachis styles the wardrobe with a deliberate duality. Some looks reference a Dickie Greenleaf figure: tan trousers, knit polos, and bare ankles above loafers. These details nod to a postwar Italian attitude, constructed around tailoring that follows natural lines and cottons softened by wear.
The second type veers toward a noir character: a double-breasted suit with vintage shoulders, cut in lightened navy, paired with a shirt either fastened at the collar.
The editorial treats clothing as social adaptation. It is aspirational in tone, placing American prep within the codes of Mediterranean tailoring. Anatol’s stance mirrors the garments’ in-between language. Here, they are part of a presentation, where identity is shaped by silhouette and setting, and style carries the weight of both disguise and declaration.
